Unable To Complete Activation - UDID - iOS 5.0.1

Ok - I forgot to add my UDID to my developer account BEFORE updating my phone to 5.0.1 and went to activate and got that message. So, I went in and added my phones UDID to my account. It's still giving me the error 15 minutes later. Is there a big delay on when things update? I searched but could not find any info on that.

Going to try the re-restore of 5.0.1 first. If that doesn't work, restore to 5.0. Never had any issues before and I guess this isn't their fault but mine only. Can't believe I forgot to add my UDID. Bleh.

After 5.0 restored via DFU mode, it came up in itunes, and I clicked restore settings.. this was a mistake. This restored to the last time I used itunes for backup. You need to use the phone, enter in langauge, wifi info, etc to do an iCloud Backup Restore.

Doing so now.

What I meant was I'm restoring back to 5 GM now, how to I make iTunes update to 5.0.1 instead of just restore to 5.0.1?

My latest iphone backup was on my mac so I'm OK with that. I just need to know how to update to 5.0.1 so I don't mess up my phone again.

Restored to 5.0 and restored from backup. Then UPDATED to 5.01 without an issue the second time. First time it said "waiting on iphone..." and nothing happened. So I had to do the whole restore thing again. Seems to be fine now.
